The dark reason so many millennials are miserable and broke

Not only do you need a massive amount of help for your terminal projection complex, you also need a remedial reading comprehension course, as well as third grade lessons in spelling and using contractions.

I'd feel sorry for you, but since you haven't the sense to stop digging, not only don't I, you poor egomaniac, but am laughing my socks off AT you!

The religious forum covers most of your request. I would also include the march for justice posts about bars/restaurants etc and kristins after action reports. I would also include the posts for freeping at Walter Reed to support the troops and for telling gore to get out of Cheneys house etc. The Gardening Threads, The Freeper Canteen etc.

That’s just off the top of my head. I work while I freep.

My point is that anything that consists of a community of people who post to each other can suffer negative consequences as discussed in the article.

Everything in moderation!

I don't blame the millennials.

I blame the parents of those millennials.

Helicopter parenting. Structured and supervised activities throughout their entire childhood. Never letting their children out of their sight. Badgering them constantly about getting good grades so they can go to some liberal arts college instead of learning a trade or skill that will set them up for life. Allowing the grown children to live with them - into their 30s and beyond. Including making their beds, doing their laundry for them and cooking for them.

This is all bad.

I agree 100%

I spent decades writing software in arcane programming languages that you probably would not understand and that are not conducive to developing great skills in grammar. I Retired at 56 years old quite (incredibly) comfortably. You can laugh all you want.

I laughed all the way to the bank. Documenting properly was contracted out to the lowest bidder.

They are a dime a dozen.

I hope that both of your arms aren't both broken, from patting yourself on the back!

If THAT was supposed to impress me, please allow me to assure you that it absolutely, positively, did nothing of the kind! And why you believe that this is a p*ssing contest, I don't understand at all. What you're ( THERE'S THAT NEATO CONTRACTION AGAIN...SPELLED CORRECTLY! ), now doing is snowflakey Millennhial; a wordy, instead of pictorial, version of Instagram, FaceBook, personal BLOG, whatever that this thread's artical is talking about and NOT what is "normal" on FR!

I can't find hard data on where 20-24 year olds lived over time. However, the St Louis FRB's FRED database shows the current unemployment rate for 20-24 year olds is the lowest it has been since before the 2001 recession and right before the 1974 Energy Crisis. Yes, the current 20-24 yr old UMP is higher than that in the later 1960s and most of the 1950s. But the current crop of 20-24 year olds sure seem to be relatively better employed than at most recent time periods.

the TEXAS COWBOY MEMORIAL SHOOT thread does NOT count !

Why not?

I've always thought it looked like a pretty fun time!

Its a good thing that I have wildcrafting skills and like to eat “weird” things. Looks like Im going to need it.

When you have a chance, could you please email this to me 40 years ago? Thanks in advance... the past? Maybe thats the future....

Helicopter parents.

[gnarledmaw]

Lol, I was just about to comment specifically about the apostrophe nazis when that started.

Thanks for playing the straight man in todays episode of the Frothing Chihuahua in a Bomb Belt skit. So much of the humor value of FR would be lost if we didnt each take our turns.

Given that I “need a remedial reading comprehension course”, I’ll risk further nipping at my heels and take that as a complement.

You should have read what I told him he could go do to himself before it was deleted.
